We are going to be eating lots of fruits and veggies over the next three months, even more than we normally eat which is already a lot. :-)<br /><br />I absolutely loved that mural, it was gorgeous and the wicker motorcycle was pretty cool too!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-87712237291566062642022-01-27T23:59:08.970-05:002022-01-27T23:59:08.970-05:00I know I haven't made that mistake but then I ...I know I haven't made that mistake but then I also don't have a cell phone, my Instagram in on computer and it is totally different. Having said that if you clicked on the picture it should have made the picture full screen and then if you click on it again it zooms in and then you can move it around and see more detail. I don't blame you for doing it on those two photos though, they were both beautiful, especially that mural.<br /><br />We still can't get over how amazing the prices were on the fruits and veggies and how fresh they were. I am not sure of the weight of the mushrooms but I would have to say that they were around 8oz maybe a tiny bit more and we paid 5TL ($0.48 CAD, $0.37 USD) and yes, they nice firm and fresh. We eat a ton of veggies so we are going to save a lot of money over then next three months on our grocery expenses. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-36713780039717165022022-01-27T23:48:16.634-05:002022-01-27T23:48:16.634-05:00We are glad that you enjoyed our short tour of İzm...We are glad that you enjoyed our short tour of İzmir, we definitely had a nice time wandering the streets there.<br /><br />If you love tea that you would certainly like it here and yes, English people love their tea as well but it is a different type of tea, I know because both my parents were English and they loved their tea!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-11223656178137472522022-01-27T15:22:31.480-05:002022-01-27T15:22:31.480-05:00What an adventure!

And the apples alone would have cost the $4.50 here in the US! I am envious for sure. Amazing mural, and the motorcycle of wicker! Such creativity.

I did it twice - with the pelican and the octopus mural!! What a great city. So jealous of the prices at the market - just paid almost $2 for an 8 oz pkg of mushrooms yesterday and they didn't look half as good as yours. I eat a mushroom omelet most days and go through them quickly.Jenleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08181034734909835891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-50026384593223905942022-01-27T10:09:48.842-05:002022-01-27T10:09:48.842-05:00Thank you for taking us through the city!!
